Once you called me darlin', and told me that you loved me,
That I was the only one for you,
You taught me every lesson of how to keep 'em guessin',
But now look who's tired and weary, too.

Chorus: That'll learn ya, durn ya, durn ya, that'll learn ya',
Not to break a true and trusting heart,
That'll learn ya, durn ya, durn ya, that'll learn ya'
That'll teach you not to be so smart.

You were just a smarty who never missed a party,
You ran around and never stayed at home,
I was left a'waitin, while you were celebratin'
Waitin' through the weary nights alone.

chorus

Your cheatin' and your lyin' brought heartaches and sighin'
I cried for you until my poor eyes burned,
I listened to your teachin', your talkin' and your preachin'
Every year was misery while I learned.

chorus

That's from the Maddox Brothers and Rose. Coincidentally, I just got the above mentioned CD and decided to learn this song myself.
